Phantom woodies?

[Jantrix]

Okay, now drag your mind out of the gutter. Sheesh, some people.

Has anyone build a phantom woodie? Taken your average coupe, sedan, whatever, added some styrene stock for the wood trim and painted appropriately?

If so I would really love to see pics of the work and an explanation of what you did to pull off the effect. Especially something with some compound curves. Thanks in advance.

Wow. Nobody huh?

911 Turbo woody wagon, narrowed '39 Chevy panel roof and a bit of scrap plastic to 'square up' the back end. Cheated on the wood by cutting 'n pasting portions of a magazine photo of some guy's cherry wood bar onto this. The lighter wood trim is from a magazine photo, too.

Also did a virtual mock-up of an Aston Martin shooting brake using my CorelDRAW program, but this is as far as I plan to go. If anyone wonders what could be done with the Tamiya Aston kit, here y'go.

fixed one of the two busted photo links, but lost the Aston artwork alteration

That Porsche is very creative. It looks good enough to be a factory rendering.

Those look great. Thanks very much. Using a photograph is just inspired.
